68 & Shanghai

68 & Shanghai oozes the charm of a classic, timeless wine bar. Tucked away on Commercial Street, this al fresco gem sparkles in the golden afternoon sun, offering the perfect spot to sip and soak it all up. Step inside, and you’re welcomed by warm hues and cosy lighting, creating a laid-back yet polished atmosphere, just the ticket for a bit of mingling and socialising.

Spread across two levels, 68 also flaunts a eye catching vaulted cellar, a snug, intimate underground nook that’s worlds apart from the open doors of the main floor. With a wine list inspired by global flavours, guests can sip their way through over 67 of the world’s finest wine regions, with options by the glass, bottle, or even a tasting flight for those feeling adventurous.

The bar serves an exciting array of small plates. Among them is the crispy vegetable tempura, served with a sweet chilli vegan mayo; the savoury chorizo lollipops with a sweet miso mayo; and skin-on fries paired with a gochujang-infused ketchup. For heartier fare, diners can enjoy Japanese-inspired sandos in pork, chicken, or mushroom varieties, as well as the classic croque monsieur and croque madame. Crispy chicken pieces come with unique dips, including banana ketchup, sriracha Hiroshi, and sesame.

Designed to perfectly complement the stellar wine selection, the menu features indulgent charcuterie and cheese boards, a firm favourite among the area’s foodies. Ready to treat yourself?
